As far as fried food goes, it’s healthier than a potato but gives you the same indulgent fix. So, dip it in the oil until golden, sprinkle some salt and satisfy those munchies!

Instructions
  1. Peel and quarter the yucca, being careful to remove the woody fibers in the center. Cut the yucca into even smaller pieces, about the size of large potato wedges or steak fries. Yucca are quite hard, so if this is too difficult, you can go ahead and cut them after steaming. You’ll be met with a lot less resistance.
  2. Place in boiling water and cook until tender. Mine took about 10 minutes. Drain until they steam dry. you can even put these away to fry hours later, if desired.
  3. Place 1-2″ of oil in your pan. Heat until about 375F on an instant read/candy thermometer. You can also test if it’s ready by dropping a bit of yucca in. If it sizzles and browns up after a few minutes, then the oil is ready.
  4. Add yucca to pan in batches. Do not crowd. Cook until golden, moving around a bit to make sure all sides get crispy. Sprinkle with salt and eat immediately.
